    Tips for TSA with a 15 month old???

    Make sure you bring your child's birth certificate. You shouldn't need it for TSA, but I have had to show it to airlines sometimes to prove that the child was under 2. If your child can walk, you can send your child through the metal detector and then walk through right after. If your child...

    Rides for very tiny people :)

    No shame in that. I cried like a blubbering idiot the first time my daughter saw Mickey. And of course that was the day that they were doing a survey at the end wondering how our character experience was - "*SOB* This is the greatest *SOB* moment *SOB* of my life!"

    Easy to travel bottle brands?

    We always brought enough bottles to cover feedings for a day, and then washed them in the room at night. I packed a bottle brush and a small bottle of dish soap. One time, we stayed at a beach house and used the dish soap there to clean bottle, not noticing that the soap had lotion added to...

    which stroller?

    We took our daughter when she was 3-months old and used a Chicco Liteway stroller. It was the smallest one I could find that was OK to use with a baby that young. It's more sturdy than a standard umbrella stroller, but it is still easy to fold up and transport. Also, the seat back can recline...

    Quick Service and Highchairs

    We never had a problem finding a high chair for our kids, but we also tend to go to Disney World during non-peak times. It might be a little difficult to get one at noon on a summer day. Also, if you ever want to do a table service meal, the small child counts as a person in your party, even...

    Grandparents taking grandchildren to Disney

    Here are some of my daughter's favorite things: Pretty much every ride in the Magic Kingdom Character meet and greets Disney Junior Dance Party - even if she hasn't seen the shows, she will still like it Playground area in the line for Dumbo - best line ever Enchanted Tales with Belle Turtle...

    Rides for very tiny people :)

    The Hall of Presidents and The American Adventure are both great for naps. Dark, air conditioned, and not too loud. Both of my kids slept like champs in there when they were little. They also took great naps on Kilimanjaro Safari. Something about the bumpiness of the car put them both to...

    Favorite Area Music?

    Space Mountain line. I listen to this one all the time when I am having a crap day at work.

    Ordering from the kids menu on dining plan

    Think about trying some of the places with buffets. All of those have kids sections with simple food. My brother is a picky eater. For about 25 years, he refused to eat at the Biergarten because he was convinced it would be nothing but bratwust and sauerkraut. We finally got him in there...

    Is the pull out sofa bed at DVC Villas comfortable?

    I have slept on the sofa beds many times with my husband, and we both thought they were OK. It wasn't as comfortable as the normal bed, but it was way more comfortable than the sofa bed we had at home.

    Which Park to Visit on New Years Eve?

    Follow that advice, and be ready for some serious crowds. We watched the MK fireworks from the Poly beach on the 30th and then went to Epcot for NYE. It was crazy, crazy crowded. There was about a 30 minute wait just to get into the park, and that was without going through the bag check...

    Traveling with a Baby

    We went with our daughter when she was 3 months old, 15 months old, and just over 2 years old. My favorite trip so far was the one when she was 15 months old. She was old enough then to know what was going on and enjoy herself on some of the rides, but she was also not super mobile yet. She...

    Suggestions for OOP Breakfast?

    I wouldn't recommend breakfast with all the rest of the places you are eating. My family are pretty big eaters, and we end up stuffed with the dining plan. 2 desserts a day plus a snack ends up being deceivingly filling. We always grab some pastries from the resort and eat those in the room...

    Whatever happened to value, regular, and peak?!

    Good luck! We tend to go during September. The crowds are not bad, and the weather is plenty warm (upper 80's/low 90's). One warning about the September value season. That date range includes Labor Day weekend. Avoid that weekend. The past several years, there have been lots of people in...

    Diapers shipped to hotel?

    I have had diapers, wipes, and other baby food items sent to the resorts via gardengrocer.com lots of times. It was super easy, and I have never had to pay a handling fee. Bell Services will accept your delivery if you aren't there when it arrives and will keep any refrigerated items cold for...

    New Year's Eve

    It's been said by everyone, but get there EARLY! We went to Epcot on NYE 2011, and the crowds were insane. 4+ hour wait for Soarin. It took us more than 45 minutes just to get into the park, and that was without going through the bag check station. I don't remember exactly what time we got...

    Trail's End or Whispering Canyon

    The EWP will hit the Wilderness Lodge first, Fort Wilderness second, and Contemporary third. In my opinion, it is not worth taking the boat over to Fort Wilderness just to watch it. All of the hotels have campfires, smores, and movies at night. I would probably go to WL, eat, do the scavenger...

    Best Candy and Snacks from Mitsukoshi?

    I always get Pocky for something sweet and shrimp chips for something salty, thought you might be able to get both of these in your grocery store if it has a good international section.

    Pre-Trip BABYNERD MEETS MICKEY! Baby's first WDW trip PTR

    I had the same experience that you did. I found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks after getting back from WDW. I rode all of the rides, drank alcohol, ate sushi. If I wasn't supposed to do it while pregnant, I did it during that trip. I'm pretty sure that ended up making my daughter...
